Hi, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm a retired, part-time plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for 18 months, and writing poems for nearly 18 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

It was about living in my parents home, with my drug dependent brother, my mum and dad had recently passed, and I was still grieving for Carole. On top of which my 3 year old relationship had ceased. And I was trying to create that old worldly times feeling, I’m not sure it worked, but I was so much in a tangle within myself. I look back and wonder, at how I got through it all. I just keep wondering and I keep writing

I know what you mean, yes our memories are always with us. although the pain has definitely subsided, sometimes my dreams are still so vivid, and now i smile at myself for having having such a wondrous ability to recall the those glorious times, yes, with a few tears of course, but mostly my heart is healed and my soul is happy to share her spirit. xxx
